Types of Lava

You may not be familiar with the types of lava you could encounter on this trail. Please allow me to help you identify and date some of these fun formations in your environment.

None of these are much fun to sleep on, but some are not fun to be near. We sometimes find it helpful to set up a kind-of fence with our trek poles to mark the lava so we don’t accidentally get too close when taking naps or breaks.
